is this a good way to develop a third world nation in the current context?
also, why is it said that education is important to develop a third world nation?

>is this a good way to develop a third world nation in the current context?
Good? Yes
Practical? absolutely not
There is no ROI in the immediate future and it requires a massive amount of money to get the ball rolling, neither of which are present for a third world nation.
>also, why is it said that education is important to develop a third world nation?
Because of this

Not exactly much worse than Protestant America where 2/3 of the people still believe a magical invisible super powerful dude created all life in one day.

Overall It's a good way but
>state creates state-owned companies and industries
There's no need for this. The state can finance several new companies in whatever particular industry with favorable terms and subsidize it for a relatively short time until it's reasonably stable. When you have state-owned enterprises it's prone to corruption, overbearing bureaucracy, and being used as a political bargaining chip which can easily undo any potential it had for benefit.
>give land to the poor and give them initial assistance so they can produce food
This is fine I suppose but you have to make sure that the farmers/ranchers have access to tools and equipment which will allow them to produce food efficiently (like tractors/combines>hoes/sickles for example)
>why is it said that education is important to develop a third world nation?
Depends if the education is pragmatic or not. African smoke signal studies or women bathroom etiquette studies is totally useless. You do, however, need people to be knowledgeable enough to use the equipment they're given, efficient farming practices, how to operate whatever machinery, how to account for things in business or finance, how to build things in a structurally sound way, etc.
The trick to doing any of what you said is getting that initial sum of money to start building everything. Probably the best way is to get an established banking sector and to attract foreign investors to provide capital for the projects but not actually run or wholly own the companies. In addition, it's imperative that you have very harsh penalties for corruption and bribery because corruption will destroy anything it touches.
Depends where you are in the world.
Can't build bridges if some niggas come and blow it up.

>in sectors of the economy it does not produce
If "the state" doesn't produce those, it must be for a good reason. You think just anyone can get up one day and build a semiconductor fab or a steel foundry? You think professionals and skilled workers grow on trees?
>give land to the poor
Land = taxes. The poor will just sell the land for cheap to anyone who is rich enough to pay for it. Either that, or they'll build shitty housing.
>privatize
For what purpose?
>clausule
You don't really know english, do you?

>If the State doesn't produce those, it must be for a good reason
That reason may be incompetence, unwillingness to fix the country, corruption, etc.
>You think professionals and skilled workers grow on trees?
Just teach them how to. How long would it take, 1 year at max?
>The poor will just sell the land
Make them sign a piece of paper saying they will only accept the land if they don't sell it, or something like that.
There's a number of ways to go arround that issue, regardless.
>privatize for what purpose?
So the State doesn't have to carry about enterprises, it's like lifting a weight of your shoulder, and muh free market, muh private initiative, muh competition.
>You don't really know english, do you?
I don't, I'm a Nip.

Give a man a fish feed him for a day, teach a man to fish yada yada yada.
Third world here. Ideas are decent from your perspective but...
>>heavily invest in infrastructure, as in ports, waterways and rail systems
With what money? If you take debt from IMF, you have to take it up your ass with their regulations. Conspiracies aside, they aren't in it for you. What's best for you usually won't be good for them and they hate economic protectionism.
>>state creates state-owned companies and industries in sectors of the economy it does not produce
Good luck with that, it'll be delegated to corrupt people with connections to the ruling elite and they'll steal most of the money. Same thing with financing privately owned companies, wrong people will get the money.
>>send industries to under developed regions of the country to evenly spread population and GDP across the country
How? It's not like you can order a company to relocate.
>>give land to the poor and give them initial assistance so they can produce food near these new industrial cities
Again, corruption.
>>privatize these national companies and industries later on with a bunch of clausules that motivates further expansion of national market
Companies get you by the balls. It's not enforceable. Eventually you face the choice of letting them do what they want or face them downsizing which leaves a lot of people really unhappy and general image of privatisation gets ruined.
>is this a good way to develop a third world nation in the current context?
Assuming zero corruption, yeah.
>also, why is it said that education is important to develop a third world nation?
Educated workforce.

My country, for example, doesn't have land taxes. Still, corruption would fuck it up.

What he means is that there's usually a good reason why private sector doesn't do something. Can't make a banana farm in Estonia etc.
>>You think professionals and skilled workers grow on trees?
>Just teach them how to. How long would it take, 1 year at max?
Top kek. It takes years of experience, on top of formal education. Taking a fresh out of college engineer is not nearly the same than having a engineer that already has years of projects under his belt.
>>The poor will just sell the land
>Make them sign a piece of paper saying they will only accept the land if they don't sell it, or something like that.
Good luck enforcing that with corruption. Third world countries aren't famous for their efficient judicial system.
Look up the way Singapore became wealthy. It is the best case study of how to go from poor to rich.

Precisely, anon. Every world leading power since 0AD came from being aided by another world leading power. When the US falls it'll be China's time to shine again

what kind of industry are you talking about?
one year of training won't get you very far with a bunch of third world peasants. at best it'll qualify them to work in mining or woodcutting operations without getting themselves killed by the machinery.
go on youtube and watch the documentary "empire of dust". it's about a chink working for a chinese construction company that builds roads in congo. that will give you an idea about the levels of incompetence and unreliability that's prevalent in so many third world people.
